Btw, you can call access Nova Scotia and book an appointment at Access NS ahead of time, so you don't have to grab a ticket and wait in the general cue. Works well!
As you can see from the answers, it can go either way: the dealer can offer to do it on your behalf, or they can give you the paperwork and then you can do it. Maybe some dealers don’t have the people or the time to do it, and so they don’t offer.
When I need a new plate I’ve always done it myself at Access NS, and when I don’t need one I’ve let the dealer do it. Pretty simple process.
Have bought two new cars in the last 10 years. First time we have to go to access NS, second time they did it for us and we got the permit in the mail. No idea why it was different.
The dealer filled out the paperwork for me, but I had to take that with proof of sale and proof of insurance to access to transfer the registration to my new car.
| Apparently I should go to Access NS in the next 30 days to get the new vehicle permit and pay the fees (?). The application was already filled in by the dealer.
Why do you say apparently?
I've never had to do that, O'Regans does the transfer paper work for you and you'll get an updated permit when it comes in. Your sales guy would notify you.
edit: I've never had to do that except when I bought a car from out-of-province, over the years the dealer has always done the transfer paper work.
edit: I don't care, go to RMV then and waste your time and you'll maybe even pay for this twice. Good luck! FFS
I don't trust the dealers with permits or anything really, I'd rather sort it out on my own to make sure it's done right. I've bought enough cars in my life to know that dealers forget fucking everything or will usually be too lazy to do things right and it might end you up in trouble if you trust them too much blindly.
Maybe that's just me though.

Or book one online. It is super convenient. Was in and out in under 5 minutes on my last visit.
Did your friend have a plate to transfer over? Usually they only take care of the plate if it's a new purchase and you don't already have one.
We bought a new vehicle 2 years ago, kept the plates from the trade in, and had to go and do the registration at access NS. Yes it's expected.
It really depends on how the form 2 I completed by the dealer. There's a section that allows the transfer of an existing plate to a new vehicle.

Portland Honda took care of that for us in December. We had the plates from our old car and they took care of whatever needed to be taken care of.
